I booked this place not knowing that they require you to send them your details and a picture of your license/passport and credit card details. Nobody in their right mind would do this. So I had to book another hotel and lost the money I spent on this booking. No cancellations allowed. This is a digrace

The Sonder is like living in your own condo with a generous sized layout with bedroom, living and kitchenette. Great location, city views and washer/dryer in units. The hallway/stairway smelled of pot but that is the general smell of downtown Detroit. And the couch in the living room area has hair on it and could have been cleaner..

Liked: Cleanliness
It was very clean and had everything we needed. But we were not happy about the parking, the check in instructions, or if there were check out instructions or not. The property was dirty and we kind of felt unsafe. There were people extremely loud with music throughout the hallways and fighting and screaming at each other all night. No security was around to stop them. The TV was also very slow so we couldn’t really use it. Other than that, the apartment had everything we needed and the bed was comfy. I wish we had more towels.

If you like sleeping on a hard surface this place is great. The beds are stiff and create a lot of pressure points. Barely slept at all. Also the platform of the bed was not properly secured so the mattress would shift and collapse every time we moved. The only sitting options were the bed of doom or metal prison chairs.

Love the ambiance of the place! Great location for dining and things to do are within walking distance. The layout of the rooms are amazing and spacious. We had a city view which was beautiful. But the cold draft coming through the windows was no fun lol. I would recommend them resealing the windows and putting u some heavy curtains. But overall, communication was phenomenal and any questions or concerns i had were addressed and answered asap!

I arrived a few mins early I couldn’t check in until exact time but I was standing outside tryn my keypad n it didn’t work while security sat at the desk n watched me struggle with bags. Get to my room everything was ok until it was time to shower there was tones over 7spots of mold on the shower liner and the shower curtain was nasty especially at the bottom looks like old urine then I tried to get some rest but I damn near froze to death because the heat didn’t work so I slept with my coat hat and two pair of socks on I was having hope that it would work woke up told front desk about my issues and they sent a guy up with a space heater at that point I just ended my stay and checked out a day early. The concept of this place is nice but it needs a lot of attention to small things that makes for a great stay the only thing I enjoyed was the view.

We had a great 2 night stay. Room was clean, we made use of the washer dryer too. Super close to downtown. Parking lot available in a 2-3 min walking distance ($30 for 24h). Would stay here again.
